California got a strong outing from Alfredo Herrera as the Mallards defeated the Texas Isotopes, 3-2, at Arlington Park. Herrera went 6 innings to notch the win. He scattered 3 hits, walked 2, and struck out 3. His record improves to 4-5. Jonas Pelikaan earned the save for California, his 12th.

It could have been a different outcome for California, had it not been for Orlando Rosado, the two-time All-Star . Rosado contributed a 2-run single in the top of the second inning to put California up, 2-1.

"It feels good to get this one," Herrera told the California Bulletin.
